Automatic emergency braking is technology that helps a driver avoid or lessen the impact of a rear-end collision. Volvo's IntelliSafe system contains the automatic emergency braking system, but missing software code can cause failures of the system.
The missing code makes the active safety domain master (ASDM) incompatible with the hardware.
Volvo, owned by China-based Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, says it doesn't know of any crashes or incidents related to the missing software code.
Volvo dealers will update the ASDM software when the recall begins May 1, 2020.
Affected owners with questions should call 800-458-1552 and refer to recall reference number R29998.
